Pencil This In

ART: Everyone is talking about Eyebeam's Untethered exhibit, which opens today. The installation is a "sculpture garden of everyday objects deprogrammed of their original function, embedded with new intelligence and transformed into surrealist and surprising readymades, including a photocopier that reads the night sky; a PDA turned guitar; and a piano that plays the Internet." The exhibit runs through the 25th of October.

THEATER: A gang of crazy Norwegians have taken over P.S. 122 with a show that sounds like a real trip. Inspired by a journey up the Mekong delta in Vietnam, Louder combines robotics, video, sound, music, shadow play, and new technology to "throw a tidal wave of pictures and sounds" atcha. Culturebot, a name you can trust, calls it "raucous and meditative, ponderous and funny, surreal and ethereal and gritty, rural and urban. Culturebot doesn’t advocate drug use but for those of you that are already so inclined, getting ferociously stoned for the show might be fun." – John Del Signore
